Five days ago, drag was banned from !politicalmemes@lemmy.world for using neopronouns. A comment explaining drag’s pronouns, and a comment saying “drag” isn’t a nickname, were removed with the reason “trolling”. Drag understands why someone would think that using different pronouns than most people is trolling - transphobia. However, drag is confused how on earth not liking a nickname is a violation of any rules anywhere.

Context of the removed comments:

Drag would like to pre-empt any further accusations of trolling by asking a question: If drag were a right wing troll, and you chose to freely accept drag’s pronouns, wouldn’t that completely neuter the trolling attempt? Trolling is about trying to make others upset. You don’t have to get upset when someone uses unusual pronouns. If you aren’t transphobic, then it’s impossible to troll you that way. And drag promises: drag wants you to not be transphobic. Drag is not trying to upset anyone. If you do what drag wants you to do, then you get what you want too. This is a non-issue, there’s only a problem if you want there to be.

EDIT: DRAG DID NOT TELL ANYBODY TO USE DRAG’S PREFERRED PRONOUNS.

    Oh really? You aren’t? Weird, you sure seemed like you were when you intentionally misgendered my daughter as part of your harassment campaign.

    Seems like it’s okay for you to ignore her gender for the sake of harassment.

      Drag has direct assurance from their father that they accept they/them pronouns, so that isn’t a problem. It’s only wrong to they/them people who don’t like it.

        You are lying.

        You have no such assurance.

        She is “She/They.”

        You are intentionally misgendering her to troll. I am done here.

          No, drag is pretty sure you told drag that it’s okay to they/them anyone at all. If you didn’t mean that, you’re free to tell drag. Drag will respect your wishes whatever they are, as long as you make them clear.

            If you continue to follow me around lemmy.world and harass me about this, or try to fuck around regarding my child in any way, the administrators will be contacted.

            This will, I expect, be the last time I ever respond to you. You’re a sick person to attack people’s kids.

              Okay whatever. Drag still isn’t going to fight, argue with, or antagonise you in any way. Drag 100% respects your daughter and your wishes for her. Have fun bragging about the big fight you want to start.

                I’m 150% sure you are a troll now after witnessing this interaction unfold before my eyes. Any notion this was at all in good faith has evaporated away.

                @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world You should absolutely contact Administrators about this, it’s probably the only way anything will be done. I recommend both Lemmy.world’s admins and lemmy.nz’s admins. Let them know what’s going on here, they can use their judgement to see what should be done.
